Pohjanpalo goal, was it offside? Aquilani fury and protests in Palermo-Catanzaro

It all happens in the 3rd minute. A cross from Palumbo from the midfield from a free kick causes panic in the Calabrian defence, which clears the ball short. Pohjanpalo pounces on the rebound, hitting a header from the center of the area and finding the Rosanero’s immediate advantage, amid protests from Catanzaro.

The Calabrians in fact ask for an offside by a Palermo player, who jumps into the area and disturbs the intervention of the Giallorossi goalkeeper. The VAR calls the referee Marcenaro, who waits a few seconds but then validates the goal, thus judging the rosanero’s offside as irrelevant in the development of the goal.
